“If you want to support the priests, give a heave offering.”
Reflect on the role of spiritual leaders and how your support can enable them to fulfill their duties. Consider how this offering expresses your commitment to sustaining religious practices.
“The Israelites are to bring the best of the firstfruits of their soil to the house of the Lord their God. Present them as a heave offering before the Lord. The priests will receive the heave offering, which is a portion of the offerings given to support their work.” (Exodus 23:19, Leviticus 7:14)
“From now on, the Israelites must not go near the tent of meeting, or they will bear the consequences of their sin and will die. The Levites are to perform the duties of the tent of meeting and bear the responsibility for any offenses they commit against it. This is a lasting ordinance for the generations to come. They will receive no inheritance among the Israelites. Instead, I give to the Levites as their inheritance the tithes that the Israelites present as an offering to the Lord.” (Numbers 18:22-24)
These scriptures illustrate how heave offerings are used to support the priests and the Levites, highlighting the importance of sustaining those who serve in spiritual leadership and ensuring the continuation of religious practices.
